Too Late for Tonight

I've been sittin' all night
Listenin' to my records
Makin' up my mind
To call you up
But I'm never on time
And it's too late for tonight

If you weren't so far away
I'd just ring you up
Got a lot to say
But the city sky
Soon will see it's first light
And it's too late for tonight

You brought me home one night and left me
Standing on your stairs
Turned around to lock your door
But I wasn't even there

That was a long time ago
I'm thinkin', laughing
An' I miss you so
An' I'm alright
But I can't close my eyes
An' it's too late for tonight

The hours are long and quiet
An' it's drifting through my mind
Some sweet, sultry night
You'll be by my side

I can see the sky so clearly now
The silver empire moon
Oh, the record player humming so dearly
In the other room

Was it BJ, 1972?
He's wishin', he's hopin'
And he's feelin' blue
An' I'm floating
On a sweet lullaby
An' it's too late for tonight

Oh, goodnight, my dear, goodnight
